The people who are smart enough to understand that corporations need restraint are also smart enough to know that burning a single building down will do nothing but give that company an insurance check. It needs to be the people who are in the c-suite, on the board, the consulting firms, etc. it has to happen overnight and with all of them.
Are we talking about revolution?
I love that Tracy chapman song too
This guy knows the first and second rules of fight club. JFC.
These people deal solely in the material. As soon as you start diminishing any material they own they will begin to lose their minds. They're deathly afraid of anyone knowing their names. Its why they hide behind multiple layers of shell companies and redacted identities when they do shitty stuff like buying a lot poor families live on and gentrifying it under a surname. If direct actions against their possessions did not work they would not wear so many masks. Its only the most brazen who do not hide like Musk.
The building helps a teensy bit because their premiums will go up, and so will the premiums of anyone expecting similar risks. It's averaging out the financial risk, not eliminating it.
Making them concerned about their premiums is not an effective result.
